I use what they recommend: I installed Home Assistant Operating System on a Raspberry PI 3. Which still means there's an OS and there's HA Core.
> Home Assistant Operating System: Minimal Operating System optimized to power Home Assistant. It comes with Supervisor to manage Home Assistant Core and Add-ons. Recommended installation method.
I tried on purpose to do everything as 'basic' as possible because I don't want to spend time making sure it keeps working.
- baq 3y agono idea why it's recommended to install manually; I'd recommend docker every time. currently running on docker and upgrading was indeed just pulling new images (didn't even have to tweak the compose file, just docker compose pull). There's been a few helpful UI messages about outdated integrations in the config (e.g. workday detection moved to UI config, used to be yaml).
- nijave 3y agoIirc Home Assistant Operating System does use Docker. It's a bare bones Linux distro built with buildroot that basically just runs Docker containers
- Heliosmaster 3y agoI don't think the problem is how to update: it's easy enough in the interface, it just works. The problem is whether after the upgrade you suddenly don't see the heater anymore, or another device stops working.
- oakesm9 3y agoAh ok, I misunderstood then. I presumed if you used the OS installation method then the upgrade was done from within the web UI, but I maybe have misunderstood that too.
- Heliosmaster 3y agoyep, through the UI. the update went fine, the system afterwards didn't work properly though.. :(
